Sang Luo looked at Huan Qingzhou with some doubts. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land? What kind of old friend? Why didn't she have any impression? But there were quite a lot of people who studied in their school back then!

The Sang family has been in business for generations, so they are rich, but they only have money but no culture. When his father took charge of the family, he didn't know what kind of impact he suffered when doing business with others, and he suddenly felt that being educated was very important.

In order to facilitate the study of his sons and nephews, the Sang family had their own school. Because they hired famous teachers, many students came to study there. Father Sang thought it would be a good thing for his children to know some scholars, so he did not charge them a penny.

Originally this was a good thing, but for more than 20 years, I only trained talents for other families, and one of the top students was Huan Qingzhou. The Sang family school is famous far and wide, but none of my children are good at studying. The one with the highest academic qualifications is

Scholar Lu Qinghe.

Sang Luo has been studying in her own school for more than ten years, but there is a screen between male and female students during class, so they cannot see each other. Although she occasionally runs into male students after school, it is absolutely impossible to talk to them.

Therefore, meeting an old friend in this foreign country is really a bit baffling.

"Old friend? Mr. Huan, did we have any communication when we were studying in Sang's family?" Sang Luo couldn't find it in the memory of the original owner, and he didn't know if the original owner had forgotten it.

Huan Qingzhou's eyes were a little hurt, and he smiled helplessly: "I was the one who was abrupt."

She had forgotten the poems on the stone wall. She had forgotten the unanimous arguments. She had also forgotten the flower on the desk every day. He remembered that she was happy when she saw the flower.

Sang Luo looked at him and was suddenly stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to want to avenge his refusal to marry. Could it be that she was overthinking it?

Now that she is a high-ranking official in the capital, her life is very smooth. Maybe she doesn’t mind at all about being rejected for marriage back then. She is still here, thinking that she has not given up!

Eh! What a shame!

Just now she deliberately emphasized that she did not regret marrying Lu Huaixu, but she didn't say hello at all? It really means that there is no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

Perhaps because she had studied in the Sang family, she was an acquaintance. Seeing that the former apple of the Sang family was in such a predicament, she felt a little sympathetic.

The two stood face to face, Sang Luo kept his head down and kept silent, not daring to look at Huan Qingzhou. It was so embarrassing that he had to leave three rooms and one living room!

After a long time, Huan Qingzhou said: "Let's go!"

Sang Luo remained silent and just continued to follow Huan Qingzhou in the direction of the inn.

The sun was setting in the west, the sky was getting darker, and the last trace of red on the horizon was gradually fading away. The two of them had no communication along the way and each had their own thoughts. Sang Luo always walked to his right and behind, keeping an arm's length distance.

When Sang Luo returned to the inn, night had fallen. The four children were waiting for her at the door of the inn. They were relieved to see her return safely.

"Mom, why did you come back? Are you okay?" Lu Qinghe asked with concern.

"It's okay! It's just that Mr. Huan is new to Xianhe and doesn't know the way. I'll take him back to the inn!" Sang Luo answered very naturally, and then introduced, "This is Mr. Huan, the anti-epidemic official sent by the imperial court."

The four of them all saluted Huan Qingzhou.

"No courtesy, no need to be polite! I once studied in your grandfather's school, and I was a classmate with your uncle. You should call me uncle when talking about it!"

Huan Qingzhou looked at the four juniors in front of him. Are these the four children of Sang Luo? Yes, they all know etiquette.

"Then Mei'er will call you Uncle Huan from now on!" Lu Mei responded quickly, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

Huan Qingzhou smiled, with a hint of kindness in his eyes, and reached out to touch Mei Jian's head, "Mei'er is so good!"

Sang Luo was a little embarrassed. Mei saw that this little girl was really familiar with her, so people were polite to her, and she took it seriously.

"Okay, let's all go in! Don't delay Mr. Huan's rest!" Sang Luo hurriedly drove the children back to the house.

Huan Qingzhou then realized that Sang Luo and his family had been living in the inn. It seemed that Shen Tunan knew how to be flexible. So, didn't it seem a bit redundant that he had just asked Sang Luo to stay in the inn?

The next day, Huan Qingzhou was having breakfast at the inn. Suddenly, a jailer came to report.

"Master Huan, the former Xianhe County magistrate who is in prison is clamoring to see you!"

Huan Qingzhou replied lightly: "No!"

"But, he said that Your Excellency was deceived by Shen Tunan, and he wanted to tell Your Excellency the truth." The jailer continued quickly.

"The truth?" Huan Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay! I'll go over right away and let's see what truth he can tell!"

Huan Qingzhou went to the county jail and took Xiang Zheng to the interrogation room.

"Tell me! Why are you so anxious to see me?" Huan Qingzhou sat upright and looked at Xiang Zheng with a serious face.

"Sir, we were all plotted by Shen Tunan. When many people in the city suddenly fell ill, we worked hard day and night to find a solution. Shen Tunan was the chief arrest officer of Xianhe County at the time. He said that the city was insecure due to this disease. It has become very chaotic. In order to prevent the spread of the disease, it is best to close the city."

"Are you saying that the proposal to close the city was proposed by Shen Tunan?" Huan Qingzhou asked.

Xiang Zheng nodded quickly: "Yes, he was the one who suggested it. He also said that the city was unsafe and he asked me to wait until I left the city and leave all matters in the city to him. At that time, I felt it was inappropriate, but I thought he had good intentions. , and entrusted him with important responsibilities.”

"So he was promoted from head catcher to patrol inspector?" Huan Qingzhou asked.

"Yes! But we know that if the city is closed, there will not be enough medicinal materials in the city, and the people who leave the city will have to be resettled. That's why we thought of division of labor and cooperation. Who knew that Shen Tunan would instruct Yi Cheng to report to the capital and frame him Should we abandon the city and leave? We are really unjust, all this is Shen Tunan's plan!"

When Huan Qingzhou heard this, he thought for a while: "You said that Shen Tunan deliberately plotted against you, do you have any evidence?"

Xiang Zheng suddenly beamed with joy and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Sun can testify. He has been fighting the epidemic in the city. He was also there when Shen Tunan asked us to leave the city!"

Huan Qingzhou said: "It is said that Sun will catch his head."

In just a cup of tea, Mr. Sun arrived.

Huan Qingzhou asked: "Captain Sun, did you hear that Inspector Shen asked Xiang Zheng and others to leave the city to avoid the epidemic, and that he had full authority to take over Xianhe County?"

Sun Captou looked at Xiang Zheng on the ground and nodded: "I heard it! That day, Mr. Xiang and several other adults discussed the sudden outbreak of serious diseases in the city. Inspector Shen took me to report the situation in the city. Then, he suggested Close the city and let a few adults leave the city to avoid the epidemic. He will handle the affairs in the city."

Huan Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Capt. Sun, and said, "Is everything you said true? You must know that everyone who stayed in the city to fight against the Xianhe plague will be rewarded and commended by the court. But if you commit perjury, that would be a violation of the law! I will ask you again, are you telling the truth?"
